We need to mend, revive and rewild. KI MA KAMI* has been established to find solutions for architecture and urban green on various scales, earthen materials and timber constructions, furniture and sometimes graphic designs to support the above - always with optimism and hope for our grandchildren’s future, believing that plants and water are our best friends.
It’s not only about us humans! But it is us, who have to be deeply driven by the urgency to tackle the most important challenges of our time and to find new strategies for our urban systems, ecosystems and social structures. Greener cities, healthier living spaces for people in symbiosis with their environment, with flora and fauna, combining traditional knowledge with innovative ideas are just a few of the aspects that can help us all to smoothly transition architecture, our society, human kind and our home planet into a positive future.
I also believe that urban structures, ecosystems or social structures may be likened to human organisms and bodies. My ideal conception of an approach may be compared to acupuncture, activating neuralgic spots while considerately harmonising the system as a whole.
